Description

Ingredients

• 6 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimientos, drained well (may not need whole jar)
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1.25 pounds ground chuck
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• red leaf lettuce
• 4 burger buns, toasted if desired

Directions

• To make pimento cheese, combine cheeses, mayonnaise, cream cheese, pimentos, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl and mix together well using a wooden spoon. Note: I use about ¾ of the jar of pimentos, but you can use the whole jar if desired. Refrigerate until needed.
• Gently work the Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper into the ground chuck. Shape into 4 or 5 patties, depending on how large you want them. Make a depression in the center of each patty. They will cook flatter and become less dome-shaped.
• Grill burgers on a grill or grill pan for about 4-6 minutes per side. About a minute or two short of ccoking time, top each burger with about ¼ cup of pimento cheese to give it time to melt.
• To serve, place a leaf of lettuce on the bottom of a bun and top with burger.
